which column (Bid or Ask) you click the mouse.

Clicking on the Bid column below the market price will place a Buy limit order. Clicking on the same column above the market price will place a Buy stop order.

The Ask column is similar: clicking below the market price will place a Sell stop order and clicking above the market price will place a Sell limit order.

Clicking on the Bid column at the BestAsk price level will place a Buy market order.

Clicking on the Ask column at the BestBid price level will place a Sell market order
